You are right it's either the Turismo or the Infernus. Which one if fastest have been debated all over the Internet, so I'll use facts from the handling.cfg file, and a thorough test by Mike Hayward.

Let's begin with the hard data from the .cfg file. But because these two cars are so similar performance vice, I'll include more than just top speed and acceleration. I'll also include Turn Mass and Traction because it greatly affects how fast you can make it from A to B on the road.

Mass: Weight in kilograms.

Turn Mass: Affects how easy you can make turns at high speed. A high turn mass makes the vehicle "feel" heavy and won't let you take those sharp turns. Lower is better.

Drag Multiplier: Aerodynamics, air resistance. Lower is better.

Traction Multiplier: Simply put traction. Higher is better.

Traction Loss: How much traction that is lost on wet roads or if you go offroad. Lower is better.

Engine Acceleration: Engine acceleration. Measured in m/(s^2) (meters per second per second (velocity change per second)). The higher the better.

INFERNUS:

Mass: 1400.0 Kg

Turn Mass: 2725.3 Kg

Drag Multiplier: 1.5

Traction Multiplier: 0.70

Traction Loss: 0.80

Traction Bias: 50%

Max Velocity: 240.0 KPH / 149.04 MPH

Engine Acceleration: 30.0 ms^2

TURISMO:

Mass: 1400.0 Kg

Turn Mass: 3000.0 Kg

Drag Multiplier: 2.0

Traction Multiplier: 0.75

Traction Loss: 0.85

Traction Bias: 45%

Max Velocity: 240.0 KPH / 149.04 MPH

Engine Acceleration: 30.0 ms^2

These two cars are almost identical, but especially Turn Mass and Drag are much better for the Infernus.

Now the thorough test done by Mike Hayward. This is not a pure top speed test, it is an A to B test where not only the top speed is significant. As you can see, some cars with a lower top speed was just faster than the Turismo in this test.

i thought about some of those above, but the first time i used the hotring racer it seemn to go faster than any. so i wonder if for some cars the speed blur is accentuated even if they don't go faster than others. anybody any hints on that? how's the hotring vs infernus?

The Hotring Racer: Not fastest on paper, not fastest on track. You can read this from my big post above.

(alooper21)

also: is the fastest bike faster than the fastest car?

and let's not also involve the planes not, cos they sure go the fastest

No, the NRG-500 doesn't even come close. If a bike was the fastest land vehicle then I would have mentioned it.
